The valvetrain is connected to the bottom end: Timing Chain. A single row
"works" but the extra stress that is put on the bottom end also runs through
the timing chain and into the valvetrain. Chain stretch isn't a common
occurrence, but does happen with higher boost pressures.
I would "Guesstimate" about 15% more...Manufacturer and modification
depending.
